I have long admired Mexicoās vibrant literary culture and its rich traditions of intellectual, artistic, and social engagement. I have also heard wonderful things about its LGBTQ+ communities and look forward to meeting readers and learning from them.š³ļøāā§ļøš³ļøāšIf all goes according to plan, I will appear at two book events in Mexico City on Thursday, November 26, and Friday, November 27, 2026. One of the venues will be the legendary Somos Voces in Zona Rosa, a place I have long hoped to visit.Afterward, I will attend the GuadalajaraĀ International Book Fair, where I expect to be available from Monday, November 30, through Thursday, December 3, 2026.
If you are in Mexico, I would love to meet you. Please stop by to say hello if you have the chance. I look forward to connecting with readers, writers, publishers, translators, activists, and anyone interested in literature, science fiction, queer culture, Taiwan, or LGBTQ+ issues.
š²š½š¹š¼As a university professor, I would also be delighted to meet local scholars, researchers, teachers, and graduate students.Between now and November, I warmly welcome interview requests from newspapers, magazines, YouTubers, bloggers, podcasters, Instagram creators, and other media based in Mexico. I would be happy to discuss LGBTQ+ literature and rights, science fiction, Taiwan, and related topics. As long as we can communicate in English, I will do my best to participate. Written interviews are also very welcome.
